They have stronger holding abilities (tensile strength) than nails and can draw pieces together. ... The best example for when to use a nail versus screw is building a deck. Nails are used to attach the joists to the deck framing, and screwsare used to fasten the deck to the frame. The right fastener for the right job.

Nails are cheaper, faster to install particularly with a nail gun) and sometimes easier to remove (a screw which has been over torqued and lost its head is a real bear to remove) Specialty nails, such as brads or finish nails are smaller than any screw and do not have a large unsightly head. These are commonly used in furniture and cabinetry. nails do have pullout resistance for tension, but it is not as much as a comparable screw.
